Ytko

YTKO is a positive enabler of social, financial and economic growth. We support entrepreneurs at every stage of their business journey, accessing money and markets to assist business growth. We have worked for over 40 years to support the creation and growth of businesses, increasing revenues and ultimately contributing to economic prosperity. We bring a wealth of combined private and public sector experience in supporting new entrepreneurs, established businesses and corporates. YTKO set ambitious targets to support 20,000 businesses, raise £50m in finance and create 10,000 news jobs, by 2020. This was our social mission, with the work being done on a non-for-profit basis. We’re so proud that, thanks to our amazing them, this ambition was realised a year early! YTKO has now helped over 22,500 businesses, with an estimated collective sales of £2.16 bn. We have raised over £71 million in finance for our clients, and through unlocking their growth potential, helped create over 10,300 jobs for the British economy. An independent evaluation of this body of work calculated a financial, economic and social return of more than £423 million, and a return of £10.30 for every pound invested.
